Mute group text messages or intervals

Can you mute ALL group texts and keep the same settings for all other 1 to 1 texts?


The preferred would be to send me 1 alert when the first message of the group lands and then automatically mute the audio for the group going forward?


I can see that you have options to disable group but I just want to set the audio to either mute any and all group texts OR have intervals to check every 10 minutes or so and send me 1 alert no matter how many messages have been received.


I know I can mute a specific group text but when the person texting you adds or removes a contact it seems to create a new group text that needs to be muted again. The real problem is many alerts in a short time is unnecessary
